CMS HASCHE SIGLE
CMS Hasche Sigle is one of the largest German firms with over 600 lawyers and an extensive network that covers nine German cities with a further three offices outside of Germany, as well as being a part of the wider CMS network. The strong presence of the firm across Germany allows it to deliver a bespoke service to clients of the highest standard and it achieves 21 listings across 13 of the following sections.
The firm stands out in the management labour and employment chapter, with four “top tier” lawyers offering a wide range of services covering pensions, restructurings and termination of service contracts. Gerlind Wisskirchen is an “expert” in this field and “internationally renowned” for her advisory work on restructurings and compliance to national and multinational corporations. Christopher Jordan is “first rate” and advises on collective bargaining issues and negotiations with works councils and unions.
CMS Hasche Sigle performs well in the dispute resolution chapters with two lawyers selected for inclusion in both the arbitration and commercial litigation chapters. Klaus Michael Sachs is “world class” in arbitration proceedings with over 25 years experience acting as either counsel or arbitrator and Anton Maurer is a “skilled litigator” with a focus on international disputes.
A further key strength of the firm is its real estate and construction practice, from which two lawyers are recognised in both the corresponding chapters. Andreas Otto features in the construction chapter and is “highly recommended” by peers and Heinrich Schirmer is a “true specialist” in commercial and domestic real estate.
The number of lawyers identified as leading in their field is a testament to the firm’s high standard of expertise and level of service delivered.
